 Angel Island is a famous historical site outside of San Francisco. Located in the San Francisco Bay, the island was used as a detention station for especially Asian immigrants and travelers who wanted to gain entry into the mainland of the United States. Between 1910 and 1940, about one million Chinese immigrants were processed at the Immigration Station. Along with Japanese and other Asian immigrants, they were being inspected, disinfected, and detained before they were allowed to enter the mainland. Today, the Angel Island Immigration Station has become a National Historic Landmark in memory of the harsh experience of Asian immigrants to the United States.
